Overview
- A large fire late Friday night gutted the Kehlsteinhaus on the Obersalzberg and police say the damage is extensive with the protected building largely destroyed.
- Authorities arrested a 33-year-old motorcyclist near the site who was later placed in psychiatric custody after investigators found signs of mental illness and possible reduced criminal responsibility.
- French anti-terror prosecutors opened a terrorism investigation after a man fired from a car across suburbs near Paris, killing one person and seriously wounding several others during a short spree on Friday morning.
- Searches of the Paris suspect’s home and vehicle uncovered a machine pistol, a tear‑gas grenade and a booby-trap explosive device, and officials are examining whether the attack had a racist or islamophobic motive.
- Officials in Bavaria have pledged to investigate and rebuild the Kehlsteinhaus to preserve remembrance work, while French leaders have sharply condemned the shooting and emergency services continue forensic and security steps.
